Michael Havlik, Deputy Director of Multifamily NW, discusses the wide variety of bills that were pushed through the legislature with little notice to housing providers. As a result, rental housing providers continue to face extreme difficulties in accessing promised safety net funding, and the result may be a generational impact on the availability of housing supply.
Throughout it all, Multifamily NW advocated for a less fragmented system of delivery for the millions of dollars of housing funds to property owners and tenants. The State of Oregon has $204 million to distribute while various counties have more than $79 million in available funding. The problem has arisen from Oregon and counties are overwhelmed by processing the funding requests. The state indicates that reports on where the funding has gone will be available in September.
